VO command + the hotspot number you are using will read it for you without switching to itunes.

Yes a know, but I Prefer to avoid that iTunes become the active application only to read the track information, with applescript I can hear the track information and stay with my current application for instance safari mail or text edit.

Hotspots can do that very well.

Why not you can assign the applescript to a shortcut commander to discover really fast what you listen from radio without need to switch to itunes.

Mike;

When I interact with the lcd section and then stop interacting, there are a couple of buttons in addition to the song info, one is the show next view button and the oter is the show next view button. The song info has a ticker in it so you can actually realtime track the elappsed time.

Thanks, seems to work pretty well, though on the Internet radio station, I can't view the info in detail. Vo will speak what's playing but when I interact with it it says the url of the stream, interesting.

Hi Mike,

use vo to traverse the itunes window with your source open and playing. find and interact with the "lcd section" part of the window and there you will find the info on what's playing.

Hello all,

Was wondering if there was a way to tell what was currently playing in itunes with vo? An example of this would be that I'm listening to an internet radio station which puts the currently playing track in the title bar. When pressing vo f2, it just says itunes window. Was just wondering if this could be done.
